The existence of bit bots is problematic because it defeats the purpose of what steemit or any community in general is supposed to be.

Steemit was about providing content and creating meaningful discussion in a system that rewards quality.

People who received huge rewards are now benefiting from the power that comes with it in a way that promotes crappy content being the center of attention while discussions die out thanks to the fact that the content in question is trash and hardly worth to talk about while the provider get's his reward anyway thanks to a bot.

It is a system that defeats itself because it hurts user retention while also ensuring that the people who have money/influence get more and more while everyone else get's breadcrumbs at best.

Of course, not every bot or bot user is bad and I have used them in the past myself and intend to continue doing so. But I still think that Steemit would be a much better place without them.
